Stryn Sommer Ski, Norway, opened for summer skiing on Saturday, May 25, a week earlier than planned. The resort was slated to open on June 1, but warm, sunny days enabled the resort to clear access roads faster than anticipated. Stryn Sommer Ski expects this to be “another short season” as conditions in the mountains are “scorching hot,” the resort shared on social media.
Stryn is one of only six summer-only ski resorts in the world, most of which are simply inaccessible during the winter months. Beartooth Basin in Montana announced earlier this month that the American summer-only ski resort would not be able to open this year due to lack of snow.
Nestled in the idyllic Norwegian countryside, the summer-only ski resort of Stryn offers a remarkable skiing experience. Stryn Summer Ski Centre is situated at 3,494 feet (1,065 meters) on the Tystig Glacier, and a double chair takes you up to 4,429 feet (1,350 meters) and provides access to a skiable area of approximately 1.8 miles (3 km). Skiers can enjoy a variety of runs of varying degrees of difficulty, and if you want to venture out further, Stryn also offers catskiing. The long winding road through the stunning countryside alone is worth the trip.
